So I booted into 2.6.32, ran 'depmod 2.6.38-bpo.2-686' and rebooted. Still got same error. Purged 2.6.38, installed it again, rebooted into it with no trouble.
Then I ran refractasnapshot, created a 717mb iso, and I was able to boot that in vbox. The 38 kernel is the default. I haven't done much with it, but it's running and seems ok. Could probably get it below 700mb by removing the older kernel.
One other thing. During the first install, it asked if I wanted to switch fstab to using UUID, and I said no. It didn't ask the second time. (linux-base got upgraded on the first install.)
Uhum.
Tried that too. Same error after "Loading, please wait..."
For me (!) it stays as is: creating a liveCD with a non-default kernel is a no-no.
I upgraded to wheezy-testing, with kernel 38 as the default one, ran "snapshot" from the menu and all is as it should be.
Interesting that it is me. Will keep me from telling others it does not work in general (hopefully).
